Chapter 24: Wrong on the set?

Bakers Water Supply Plant.

Grant Ward led an Aegis assault team cautiously through the dark and quiet factory.

There was no sound in all directions, only the flow of water flowing through the metal pipes and the occasional whisper of water droplets hitting the floor. The humidity in the air is high, and there is a salty and damp smell. The ubiquitous darkness seemed to hide a pair of vicious eyes, coldly looking through the shadows at everyone who dared to break into this place.

The cold metal facilities of the water plant are like jagged ghosts in the dark, revealing their hideous faces, ready to turn this place into a grave for the agents.

The place gave Ward a feeling of extreme discomfort, a foreboding he hadn't had in countless life-or-death missions he had in the past. As mentioned earlier, Grant Ward is not actually a real S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, his real identity is an undercover Hydra agent hidden inside Aegis.

It would be hilarious if he missed and hung up on this mission. He was clearly an undercover agent, but he lurked inside the house and didn't have time to do anything, and suddenly became an Aegis martyr. When the time comes, Aegis will issue him a badge and post his photo on the Wall of Honor, which is simply the biggest mockery of a spy.

There was some kind of muffled grocery cry from the depths of the darkness, and a creaking sound that seemed to have loosened something.

Ward stopped, his fist outstretched, signaling everyone to stop.

Everyone held their breath and set up a formation. Everyone was armed with their guns and stood by as they waited for the thing in the darkness to appear.

In an instant that no one expected, that thing struck.

Tentacles like rattan whips pierced the solid walls, like a poisonous python wrapped around an agent's waist. The agent subconsciously let out a low sigh, and before he could even pull the trigger, he was pulled into the darkness, and in the blink of an eye, he was silent.

"Fire!" Ward ordered loudly and pulled the trigger into the darkness first.

From the moment he was dragged into the darkness, the agent was doomed. They don't have a chance to worry too much now, and if they don't dare to fire because they are worried about their companion and miss the best opportunity to counterattack, then their only fate is to be wiped out.

The muzzle of the gun flickered one after another, and the steel projectiles were poured into the endless darkness like hot raindrops. There was a brief dull noise in the darkness, and then it was quiet again.

No one spoke, but an emotion called fear swirled like a lingering cloud in the dark air.

Lovecraft once said that the oldest and strongest human emotion is fear; The oldest and most intense fear comes from the unknown. And that's exactly what happened.

These agents who live and die for many years are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of the darkness, of being dragged into the darkness by the unknown enemy, and of facing the death that will come in an unknown form.

Ten seconds later, the attack struck again—this time from underground. The concrete floor was pierced like a piece of tissue paper, and two long whips wrapped around each of the two agents, dragging them into the darkness when they were defenseless.

But this time, Ward was already on full alert, and after the two agents were dragged inside, he immediately threw Aegis's special high-explosive grenades and incendiary grenades into the hollow in the ground. A violent roar exploded in the space beneath everyone's feet, causing the ground beneath their feet to tremble slightly. The flames erupted from the ground like a twisted dragon erupting from the hollow, and pillars of fire in thousands of degrees of heat slammed into the ceiling, nearly melting through the metal.

The explosion ended, but the tremors under everyone's feet suddenly intensified. A dull roar escalated abruptly, as if something was violently pushing against the floor from below, and the entire water supply plant began to tremble violently!

Ward realized that something was wrong, and he hurriedly shouted, "Retreat!" Fall back! ”

But maybe it's a little late. Whips stabbed out of the walls one after another, and agent after agent grabbed and dragged into the darkness without a trace. Cracks spread like madness along the walls and floor, rubble and dust fell from the ceiling, and the floor crackled like a shattered eggshell.

One tentacle after another pierced out, and the pitch-black shadow shattered the ground, rising from the ground like a giant whale out of water. The pipes burst, and everything in the plant was shattering, like a strong earthquake.

The foundation of the water plant collapsed, as if a huge mouth had been opened and the entire building had been swallowed up. Grant Ward ran for his life, and finally managed to escape the fate of being buried alive. Looking back, only two of the agents who went in with him escaped alive, and the losses were not insignificant.

Coulson hurried up to meet him. The A.R.I.E.L.I.E.L.D. doctor held the tablet and shouted at the top of his voice, "It's here! That's coming! It's starting to move, it's coming up soon......"

Before he could finish speaking, a cloud of dust rose from the pit. The shadow rises from the ground, finally revealing its true form in front of everyone.

In terms of appearance, it should be a red bug. It had a disgusting shape, a long tail, sharp mouthparts, and long red tentacles on its hands - apparently the whip was what it really looked like.

But this insect is nearly fifty meters tall.

"Oh my God." The doctor held the tablet in his hand and stared up at the giant worm as if he were watching a miracle.

Coulson and Ward were also shaken. Even as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who have been dealing with unconventional events for many years, they have never seen anything like it.

Coulson was a veteran agent after all, and he quickly forced himself to recover from his shocked state, pressing the headset and ordering: "Give me this thing, maximum firepower!" ”

"Roger."

The Kun fighter, which had been on standby in the air, slowly lowered its altitude and lowered the large-caliber Gatling carried by the Kun fighter. The barrel spun rapidly, flames poured out like long tongues, and bullets crackled and splashed across the shell of the giant bug, but it seemed to have no effect.

The bottom of the Kun fighter poked out of the pylon, and a pair of missiles ignited violently, drawing a burning trajectory in the night, flying straight out, and exploding a large dazzling fireball with a deafening roar......

......

Not far from the periphery of the blockade zone, Richard, who had just arrived, looked at the Aegis fighter and the giant insect in the crossfire, and his heart was like ten thousand divine beasts and grass mud horses galloping by......

Is this a careless and running back to the set of Tsuburaya or what?
